Can't you guyz and galz just launch this mofo to 10k so I can buy a boat?

Is that really too much to ask for?

I sold during the last pump and while I could buy back in for less right now, I'm staying out of it.

The CEO of Coinbase made comments this month about how they plan to 'upgrade' their system in the second week of December, as they undermine the core developers and go against community sentiment about what Bitcoin is.

This is a corporate move to take Bitcoin over and turn it into something appropriate for bankers (the XT fork WILL NEED more updates, while its blacklists will be updated too), who can then use it to dump their fiat into while other systems collapse and hyperinflation starts.

For this to work, they are counting on people like you, to be so happy with your profits and new boat that you won't care that Bitcoin has lost its integrity along the way.

I'll get behind Bitcoin again if the community proves itself smarter than this however.

Are you this guy?

I don't think you're being fair. Yes you are doing something by putting a little money into Bitcoin here and there. You are supporting Bitcoin because you want a better monetary system that isn't based on debt, and isn't confined by borders. When times are lean then it makes sense to stash something valuable away, until it becomes worth more. When the value appreciates again, Bitcoin holders can use their increased purchasing power to support businesses that embrace crypto, rather than cash out. That's what 'many around here' are waiting to do I'm sure.

After seeing your contribution to the devianttwo-thread I am tempted to leave Bitcoin altogether.

Edit: I see it's removed. As I remember it was an unfortunate picture of a child and a poem about how adversity makes you stronger.

I can sort of see why you're a bit paranoid, although I think your concerns are exaggerated. But I guess you're right, Gavin and Hearn do seem to think there's a market outside of the "Bitcoin Elite" who's currently peddling your kind of crap.

That was originally posted by nlc.

Under dragonseers account?

Edit: As I can see there's a one and a half month gap in his posting history from when I pointed this out the last time in this thread.
